McLaren MCL33

A place to discuss the characteristics of the cars in Formula One, both current as well as historical. Laptimes, driver worshipping and team chatter do not belong here.

That's interesting. So that bargeboard treatment and the floor edge slots got picked up by other teams. Anything else?

Has anyone from the team admitted to any problems with the rear suspension?
Favourite driver: Lando Norris
Favourite team: McLaren

Turned down the chance to meet Vettel at Silverstone in 2007. He was a test driver at the time and I didn't think it was worth queuing!! 🤦🏻‍♂️

Not explicitly but they did accept low speed issues.

Looks like they still have some Honda power units lying around.

Yep 1 more on each side. I haven't looked at the forcast for the race, it could be hot. Normally that's painted black too. Does that mean they're all new or they've just all got repainted and they haven't gotten around to the black yet? Can't tell yet.

Nice catch. I think that's the heat absorbing material you're referring to. No idea why it isn't there anymore. Maybe improvement in cooling setup.
